The Qur’an describes Muslims as “a middle nation” (أمة وسطا) in Surah Al-Baqarah 2:143.
Interestingly, this verse appears almost exactly at the center of Surah Al-Baqarah, the longest chapter in the Qur’an.
A subtle literary harmony worth reflecting on.

There is no official Hindu temple in Israel, as Hinduism is not a recognized religion with established public places of worship there, and idol worship is viewed as idolatrous by some in Jewish law

“heavens and earth” in Quran 21:30 refers to whole cosmos and the Earth is part of the same cosmic process that began with the expansion of a single state and gradually developed into its present state — something modern cosmology also describes.
The Quran in 21:30 states that "the heavens and the earth were joined". What the heck does that even mean? It's repeating an ancient idea that is scientifically flawed.
🧵
Earth is the observational center of cosmology because measurements such as Hubble’s law are necessarily made relative to our position. all empirical evidence for cosmic expansion is collected from Earth, our location is epistemically special

The sky is not a solid dome of layer upon layer. It's just space. The Earth is nothing special, it is just one of millions of planets.
All of this proves that the Quran is a man-made book narrated by a man who didn't know anything. Not the divine creator of the universe.
This fundamentally misunderstands the concept of omnipotence.
No amount of power in existence could realize a contradiction.
You cannot have free will to choose good or evil, and prevent any evil.
